fuquaint

That awkward stage when a person isn't really close enough to be a friend, yet not distant enough to be an acquaintance.

--can be used as a verb, noun, adjective.. pretty much whatever--

That cute boy and I talked in class today. I think we're fuquaints now.

When I saw her with my other friends, I really wanted to fuquaint that girl.

That guy is nice to everyone, yet never hangs with us.. He's very fuquaintable.
